Third party undisputable integrity
To limit bribery committed by third parties (suppliers, customers, subcontractors, etc.) in the name of the company, it is mandatory for the company to carry out due diligence on the integrity of these third parties and to monitor their activities. This obligation applies each time Gulf Oil and Gas works with a new third party (or when the due diligence was carried out more than two years ago), and may include, among other actions, sending a questionnaire to be completed by the third party concerned.
